[WiX-users] Shortcut's icon and strange path

[Thomas S. <wi...@re...>]

I define a desktop shortcut with following line

<Shortcut Id="..." Name="..." Target="..." WorkingDirectory="..."
Icon="myexe.exe" IconIndex="0" />

and have defined the icon reference as

<Icon Id="myexe.exe" SourceFile="path\to\myexe.exe" />

When I install the application and take a look at the symbol path in the
created shortcut, I see a strange entry like

%SystemRoot%\Installer\{8AF15DBB-442D-4BBC-A1EF-77B70AD64065}\myexe.exe

I can't seem to find a way to create a shortcut which will contain the full
path to myexe.exe as symbol path. Is it my fault or does Wix/MSI not support
that? Thanks in advance.
